Abstract

CRD summary

The authors concluded that there was strong evidence that a Mediterranean-style diet could protect against cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer's disease. This appears to be overly optimistic in view of the potential for publication bias, the limited evidence from studies with poor designs, and the often conflicting results from these studies.
